Urine trouble, Washington

Five months after the once-respected Jake Tapper and Carl Bernstein at CNN reported on a dodgy dossier about President Trump hiring hookers to whiz on a bed Obama slept in, we find out from whence that cockamamie collection of claptrap came.

Camp Hillary.

That's correct. The billion-dollar loser hired a staff of weirdos who came up with this urinal joke.

The Senate Judiciary Committee earlier this month threatened to subpoena the firm, Fusion GPS, after it refused to answer questions and provide records to the panel identifying who financed the error-ridden dossier, which was circulated during the election and has sparked much of the Russia scandal now engulfing the White House.

What is the company hiding? Fusion GPS describes itself as a “research and strategic intelligence firm” founded by “three former Wall Street Journal investigative reporters.” But congressional sources says it’s actually an opposition-research group for Democrats, and the founders, who are more political activists than journalists, have a pro-Hillary, anti-Trump agenda.

“These weren’t mercenaries or hired guns,” a congressional source familiar with the dossier probe said. “These guys had a vested personal and ideological interest in smearing Trump and boosting Hillary’s chances of winning the White House.”

Fusion GPS was on the payroll of an unidentified Democratic ally of Clinton when it hired a long-retired British spy to dig up dirt on Trump. In 2012, Democrats hired Fusion GPS to uncover dirt on GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney. And in 2015, Democrat ally Planned Parenthood retained Fusion GPS to investigate pro-life activists protesting the abortion group.

Interesting.

Camp Hillary paid off former Wall Street Journal journos.

I wonder if Camp Hillary bought of some of these Fake Conservative writers, Fake Conservative think tanks, and Fake Conservative publications that live off donors.

Real Conservatives -- those who did not want Hillary to win -- are fighting back.

From the Post:

The Senate Judiciary Committee is also investigating whether the FBI has wrongly relied on the anti-Trump dossier and its author, Christopher Steele — the old spy who was hired by Fusion GPS to build a Russia file on Trump — to aid its ongoing espionage investigation into the Trump campaign and its possible ties to Moscow.

The FBI received a copy of the Democrat-funded dossier in August, during the heat of the campaign, and is said to have contracted in October to pay Steele $50,000 to help corroborate the dirt on Trump — a relationship that “raises substantial questions about the independence” of the bureau in investigating Trump, warned Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.

The election did not mark the end of the battle but its beginning.

The swamp is thick and tangled.

But we shall prevail.

On November 8, 2016, the American people said, "Trump the Establishment!"

Now read the book that explains how and why the press missed this historic election.

DEFUND the FBI!They no longer do the job they are paid to do.They outsource every investigation.Why didnt they inspect the hacked DNC server?Oh, they outsourced the investigation?If they want to outsource all their investigations, then they need to all be fired or fire anyone who outsources investigations.If the FBI Does not do investigationsx then why is the agency needed?They are simply the Bureau of Matters and outsourced investigations

Don't forget that for all its vaunted technological prowess the FBI was unable to break into a terrorist's iPhone and had to hire a third party to do it for them. The FBI's reputation as experts in fighting crime is beginning to look more and more like an elaborate fake facade, behind which they now seem much more interested in fighting the Republican opposition than actual criminals.

The FBI has been politicized and subverted. McCain is bitterly determined to ruin Trump. There a question of dementia there, I believe. It was hard to believe reading about those allegations. Oh well.....Trump is going to win....but the losers are going to be destroyed.

I certainly agree that Trump is going to win in the long run, but this phony scandal is making it difficult for him to get things done with Congress (which is terrified of being defeated in 2018 if they go along with Trump on anything).

But what I wanted to add to or exclaim over was your saying that the "FBI has been politicized and subverted." Yes, it has -- and what can be done? The FBI and Democrat operatives Mueller and Comey are using the FBI to investigate Trump (out of Democrat raging hate). How can we clean up the FBI (like probably fire and replace 90% of the current employees) without giving the Media and Democrats even more to howl about? Do we wait the 4 to 8 years Muller and Comey will be trashing Trump to do anything? How can we -- but it sure would be bad if we don't (unless the people truly see the truth of the Media and not just "say" they distrust it while thinking it's right and proper by a slim margin to investigate Trump-Russia?

The FBI, as with all of the intelligence community, have a great number of good people, but not being PC can destroy your career. I have been there 4 times, but my record kept me from being trashed. So scrub the political activists out of the 17 IC organizations and let them do the job they are supposed to do. There are good people in government, but character and integrity are not rewarded as they should be. The up from management Sec. of the VA seems to bear that out.

amr - Interesting take on the influence of PC in daily doing one's job. It shouldn't have to interfere with fairness, but I can see how such an atmosphere would encourage a certain point of view/focus that would at least be a thumb on the scale. Of course, culturally, I don't know that PC can be undone (although maybe it can be cleaned up in practice to just stressing being civil and unbiased??) ... and hopefully you are right, getting rid of the activists/SJW's will allow a majority of agents to do the job we all thought of the FBI (and all the other of the 17) wanting to do.

I appreciate your hopeful take about what, thanks to the media and activists (the news every minute of every day), seems so overwhelmingly corrupt.

Heh, I thought this was going to be a story about Washington doing like New York and legalizing public urination and it having a massive fail. Well, why not? The bureaucracy has been sh!ting on us for decades, Who would put it past them to piss on us and claim it is raining? Essentially what we are going to get from Mule Ears and Commie.

Are you thinkin what I'm thinkin, Big D? Imagine NR taking cash from The Wicked Witch. Sickening and disgusting. Alas, not surprising either if true. I think it was Rich who said "We've lost some old friends but we've made some new ones too." Holy shit. Holy shit.
